A reinforcing cold front will sweep through, and our temperatures will fall back into the single digits throughout the morning hours starting on Friday. High temperatures are forecast in the teens, Friday through Sunday.

The Climate Prediction Center has the entire Miami Valley under an above-normal chance of staying below normal through the rest of January and even into February.
